Turn high-intent searches into free trials & merchants.

Our pricing is public and plain. Google Ads management is 10% of your ad budget with a $600/month minimum — and your budget goes to Google in full, with no markup from us. SEO is $50 per page, starting at 10 pages a month. Custom websites are eight one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000+ (details at /websites). $0 setup, month to month, no contract, and we'll send exact pricing in a free proposal within one business day.

If your CAC keeps climbing, trials stall before merchants launch a store, or your pipeline still depends on agency referrals and word of mouth, yes — closing one of those leaks usually covers the fee. We handle the landing pages, paid and organic acquisition, and onboarding email so your team can stay on the product. If trials are already growing and converting on their own, keep that engine running.

It owns every channel that produces trials, signups, and paying merchants. SearchPod builds your site and landing pages, runs high-intent Google Ads aimed at merchants comparing platforms, wins the comparison and AI-search queries buyers use to build a shortlist, and automates onboarding and renewal email — one team, one pipeline.

Look for proof they understand this category: do they optimize for trials and signups or just clicks, can they trace a signup to CAC and renewal, and do they understand why a merchant hesitates to move a live store mid-season? Then check ownership — your site, ad accounts, and data should stay in your name. Ask any candidate how they'd win a “shopify alternative” search; a vague answer tells you everything.

Paid campaigns usually produce the first trials within a few weeks. Rankings for category and “alternatives to” queries take 3–6 months to build, then keep compounding. Lifecycle email starts lifting your trial-to-paid rate from week one — so revenue grows while organic catches up.

We run the whole funnel — site, paid acquisition, SEO, AI search, and lifecycle email — so nothing falls between vendors, and we're judged on trials, signups, and paying merchants, not traffic. Pricing is public, contracts are month-to-month with $0 setup, and your site, ad accounts, analytics, and customer data stay yours from day one.

On trials, signups, and paying merchants — never vanity traffic. We optimize landing pages and CTAs for signups, then connect every trial back to the campaign that produced it, so you can see your true CAC and the trial-to-paid rate behind each channel.

Yes. We build the campaigns and content around how each buyer actually searches — small merchants tend to search around price and ease of setup, while larger brands search around scalability, checkout customization, or headless and API access. Most platforms serve a mix, and we scope the plan to your actual customer base.

Yes. We build comparison pages and campaigns around the real “alternative to” and “vs” searches merchants run — including Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce — and we message the switching friction honestly: migrating a product catalog and order history, theme rebuilds, and whether the merchant's own agency or developer already knows the platform.

Yes. Everything lives in accounts your company owns — site, brand assets, ad accounts, analytics, and customer data. We're month-to-month, and if you ever leave, it all simply stays where it is.

Yes. We work inside the stack you already use — HubSpot, Salesforce, and your own product analytics — so trials, signups, and pipeline flow into your CRM and attribution stays clean from first click to paying merchant.

Most ecommerce platform sites and landing pages go live in about 2–4 weeks. The pace mostly depends on how fast we get your product story, screenshots, and feedback — you'll have a clear timeline before we start.
